If no body reply'd to these mails then they would have far less spam as most spam mails are generated in the hope of detecting live addresses.
That's very true.

Mind you, the SPAM wouldn't get to you in the first place if the NTL servers used a decent filtering system. If they did, each of us wouldn't be in this position of having to find our own Anti-SPAM strategies.

It's a bit like having a useless police force and having to solve crimes yourself!!

Let's hope that someone from NTL can tell us what actions (if any!!) they do take to prevent SPAM reaching us.
